A note from Kerrie:

Everyone you meet sees an ambitious, high-achieving professional. At the top of your game. Doing it all. Behind the scenes, it’s a different story. You struggle with fear and worry. Career and family stress. Perfectionism. Keeping up appearances. Striving for success. Confusion about what “success” even looks like for you. And beneath it all: The deep-seated belief that you’re not “enough”.

These are the barriers that are stopping you from experiencing your life to the fullest. It’s my job to help you move past them.

When the science of what works is paired with the flexibility to meet your unique needs, positive change is the natural result. Using principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Mindfulness, and Attachment Theory, we’ll tune into what’s authentic in you, cultivate a deeper awareness of your intrinsic value and worth, and problem-solve together, to understand and change the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are getting in your way.

Anxiety tells us fulfillment is a destination, when in truth it’s all about the journey. From the Midwest of my origins, to the corporate nonprofit structures of NYC; from the authentic and mission-driven grassroots culture of the San Francisco Bay Area, on spiritual leadership pilgrimages to France and Israel, and back again to my clinical work here in NYC… mine has been a nonstop and ever-evolving journey.

I feel honored to play a role in your own. 

My background:

I have focused my career on seeking out solutions to individual, family, and community problems through clinical work, policy reform, organizing, managing teams, and building nonprofit social service programs.

In addition to my 1:1 clinical work with psychotherapy clients, I supervise and coach clinical social workers; facilitate professional development and training groups, and oversees all aspects of care, training, and fidelity to A Good Place Therapy’s various models of service delivery.

A Good Place is where my passion for working with individuals towards sustainable change and promoting healthy, thriving teams and organizations comes together.  It stems from a fundamental belief that emotionally and psychologically safe communities and individuals have a reciprocal relationship: The individual nurtures the community and the community sustains the individual.
